What about upgrades or plug-ins to your PP programmes ( hdr, noise reduction, etc )

Not a move for the better in my opinion. Bland

Since I bought my Sigma 70-200 F2.8 last winter my 55-300 has hardly been out of the bag.

There are so many forums out there for photography. If you don't like the rules here there is nothing stopping you going elsewhere. Pentax users get swallowed up and generally either ignored or worse mocked on other forums.
There are other Pentax Forums that are flourishing.

With that sort of blinkered attitude I hope that you and the Mods will be very happy because the way it's going you'll be the only ones left in a few weeks

Agree with what David says above also there were reassurances that voices were being heard and things may well change .... nothing has, nor in my opinion ever will.

The other sites react very quickly to suggestions form members they think are good ideas - I had a suggestion on one of the sites passed on to the main admin within a few hours and implemented within 48 hours.

This site will never change and will always be that camera club were the old fogeys stuck in a long, long bygone era hang out and don't move with the times.

Such a shame as there were a lot of good and long time members who have made other places their main site for things Pentax.

Sad to see but the site owners / admins have only themselves to blame for the significant exodus.
Spot on

I've still got my original M20-f4, M28-f2.8, M50-f1.4, M100-f2.8 and M200-f4 from the late 70s - early 80s. They perform very well on my K5 and the build quality and feel is second to none. Even better than my 300DA*

It arrived at 9.05 this morning.

I've used Clifton Cameras on previous occasions and their service has always been faultless

M20mm f4 very rarely gets an outing
M28mm f2.8 only ever used it 3-4 times
M50mm f1.4 occasionally
M100mm f2.8 very rarely gets an outing
M200mm f4 hardly ever gets taken out now

I bought them all new in late 70's - very early '80's when they had a lot of use. Glass is still pristine. I really should try them more often.

K200 f4 Bought it about 2 years ago to see if it was better than the M200. It's not. They are level par
